JUST WAIT YOU WILL HEAR ALL ABOUT THEM
The only type of ’stuffing envelopes’ work from home is scamming more innocent people.
For example, they send you the information on how to start up stuffing envelopes requesting money for a startup kit. You send that money, and they send you an enelope with information on how they got over on you and how it was legal, and that in order for you to recoup your lost money is to ’stuff an enelope’ with instructions for someone else to fall for your scheme. And it’s somehow legal. Don’t fall for it.
Who stuffs envelopes any more? Big companies have machines that do all that and little companies don’t send out enough mail to hire someone specifically for that job. Plus, there’s email now.
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would know about it.
Envelope stuffing is not the way to go. There are some great places out there to work from home with.
None of them are envelope stuffing though.
Try West at home, LiveOps, 1800 Flowers, Arise, Alpine Access, Team Double Click. There are so many great places with real work you can do from home. You can google any of those names and pull them up or try the link below for info on a few of these.
THERE ARE NO AT HOME STUFFING ENVELOPE JOBS.
They’re all bullshit.
Hello, if you are interested in working from home, this is a great business. First of all I want to tell you I have checked out tons of work at home jobs..going to extremes of looking them up on the Better Business Bureau website..all the ones I have found have a NEGATIVE file..then I came across this work at home job..looked them up and they are satisfactory..they have been in business for 9 yrs now. I took the first step by giving them a chance and it is the best decision I have made for myself..they train, give you everything you need to actually make money and everyone who works for them are extremely helpful. I urge you to look over their site and watch the video that is presented (which tells you what the business is about and how you make a profitable paycheck). If you have any questions or just need more information please feel free to contact me, I dont mind helping at all!!! Just thought Id let you know about this because I have went thru the same thing you are going thru..looking at tons of online jobs to find nothing but a waste of my time. Good luck with whatever you choose to do!!
I can understand your problem, I see so many people looking for something they can do from home, and then you get all the answers, most of which, I find, are not all they are cracked up to be.
9 years ago I found an opportunity that was absolutely brand new, but I was very wary until I got the chance to meet the Company President, what he said convinced me to take a chance and now I am really glad I did, every thing the President promised has been achieved and exceeded.
In actual fact the business opportunity is so ethical, that it is the only business of its type, to have been endorsed by the multi-billionaire Donald Trump.
If you would like to know more get back to me by email and I will give you some web sites to look at.
Hi,
As a single mother it is very hard to make ends meet sometimes.
I have spent countless hours with online work and most didn’t
live up to expectation. However I have finally found the
answer - - Its been a life saver!

Most envelope stuffing jobs are scams. You can try freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at . Many of these companies have been in business for several years
First, there are a few cardinal rules for looking for ligitimate online jobs:
1) If they ask for any type of fees, RUN FAR AWAY!
2) You will most likely not find a plain ol’ data entry job.
3) Work at home jobs are not any easier than regular jobs you do outside the home, anything promising lots of money for doing nothing is a scam or a bad business opportunity.
4) Do not “process payments” for anyone, you could end up in the big house.
5) Is the job they are offering going to “change your life”, I doubt it.
6) Legitimate companies will not advertise their jobs on banners or spam mail.
If you find an envelope stuffing job that does not break any of the rules above then you might actually have found legit work. To get started looking for real work I suggest you go to which is a free site that has a directory of legitimate companies that hire home workers. Depending on your skills and experience, you should find some good leads there. Hope this gets you off to a good start. Good luck!
The stuffing envelopes thing is a scam, I learned that the hard way.
I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home “jobs” and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobsâ€. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.
Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home.
What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.
Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $100 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $300, $500 even some asking for $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.
If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses†had cost me over $800 on average.
I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year now and I make over $2000 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $300 to over $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $5000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $95,000 a year with this company.
The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.
I absolutely love working with them and I can’t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!
I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Timesâ€, “Wall Street Journal†“Time Magazine†and the “American Medical Reviewâ€. Even “60 Minutes†with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.
Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : - )
When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?
